Emmerdale, rolling hills and country pub (it's not gangs of the dales)....no spoilers please

[ellenanora5]

Maybe now with fewer episodes and time on their hands the writing will improve with some decent story lines.

I'm going to start taking bets on how long it is before Harriet and Malone end up sleeping together.

Yes Kim hasn't been seen in while actually, she's probably plotting Belles downfall somewhere (with a bit of luck)

Virgo Vanessa has bowel cancer.

I enjoyed Vinny's singing but Chesney Hawkes for a church choir?!

Nice to see Cain and Moira getting on and I always enjoy an awkward Cain/Rhona scene

I like Maxine Alderton's writing and she's written Monday's as well.

I was genuinely expecting Cain to say “I don’t want a divorce. I love you Moira. I want to be with you” I hate them being apart. It’s so wrong.

The Cain/Rhona scene was so awkward looking! Pretending they don’t know each other

Can I poke them in the eyes for saying "Shir-op-odist" ?

The accepted term is 'Podiatrist'
If the term Chiropodist is used the "Ch" is hard like "Chemist" not soft just "Champagne or Cherry .

Whinge over .

Harriet getting jiggy in the church again!

Cain made a mix tape

Cain almost did it tonight! He almost said what I predicted!! Come on Cain! Swallow your pride you stupid man.

Mix tape is so not Cain!! anyway, he and Moira only got together about 5 years ago! Why would he make a cassette??

Harriet has zero self control!! What on Earth is wrong with her. Although TBF- the thought of going home to wills face would have me running into the arms of the nearest available man.

Does anyone care about priya/Al? Or doctor doofus and his brat daughter?

Where is Kyles mum? Amy? Has she gone back to Belfast?

Hasn't Belfast suffered enough?

I'm kind of not wanting Cain to give into temptation because Moira was so blasé about the whole affair telling him she did it because she wanted to!

I'm enjoying Priya/Al but it's Emmerdale so it's bound to go tits up any moment now.

Cain and moira have been on and off since 2011 When they first had an affair ,

I knew I should have taken bets, god sake Harriet what is wrong with you.

2011!! I feel so old!

Harriet has real “bad boy” issues!

Does anyone know if Meg Johnson (Pearl) had a stroke in real life? It would explain why we sometimes see her but she doesn’t speak.

In general I’m not wild about Emmerdale at the moment. Gangster/bent copper storylines always frustrate me. I also don’t buy the whole Wendy turnaround, where she went from thinking Victoria was a lying bitch who caused her son’s death to saying ‘Oh sorry, he did rape you after all’ and rooting for her to date her surviving son instead.

The Wendy Victoria Luke thing is just a shitshow start to finish. I mute it when any of them are on.

Harriet has real “bad boy” issues!
Maybe she thinks she can make them see the light

Rik Makarem (Nikhil) was reminiscing about his time at Emmerdale recently. It sounds like he'd be happy to return. I'd be happy if he did too!

Ooh he did lots of jogging IIRC! Yes bring back Nikhil!

They mentioned Rakesh (or as Priya called him "Rak" )
He might re-surface and kidnap Johnny rather than let Charity adopt him.

(He is a lawyer isn't he ? )

I’m convinced the obsessive jogging was leading up to a body dysmorphia storyline, because soon after Nikhil left, the Priya anorexia storyline came out of nowhere.

They mentioned Rakesh (or as Priya called him "Rak" )

I saw him once coming out of my local train station. I had an awkward moment where I thought ‘Shit, I know him, but I can’t think of his name - do I say hello?’ Then I realised who he was

Nikhil's OCD was really well done because sometimes issues can be very heavy handed or forgotten after a month but it was incorporated into his personality.

I loved Will's picnic - lager and pork pies by candlelight

Yay!!

@JaneJeffer really wish I could get excited. Emmerdale is such shite right now, I genuinely hope they start filming decent stories but it's such a chore to watch right now. Harriet is the most ridiculous vicar EVER and will Billy in Corrie to contend with that's some achievement!
Will- nope. Billy - nope. Dawn- nope. Ellis - nope. Al - God nope. Priya - nope. Jay - nope. Bob - nope. Charity - nope. Vanessa - nope. Laurel - nope needs serious parenting classes too.
It's all soooo boring and tedious.
Cain -yep yep yep - can we just have Cainerdale?

As far as I can make out they're special lockdown episodes and the clip I saw was Cain and Aaron. I know Jeff Hordley has Crohn's so I hope he's not putting himself at risk by working.

Bob looks so different with a beard! His children are very good musicians. They need to stop hiding in the corner

The Emmerdale folks should do a big We Are The World type of song. They're a talented bunch.

can we just have Cainerdale?

seconded.

I really like Wendy, looks like she's going to be Bob's next conquest, how many times has he been married now? It must be 6 or 7 at this stage. I think she was in denial shout the rape until she read Victoria's diary.

Cain can make me a mix tape anytime!

I love Charity's hair too, it really suited her, she's my favourite character from all the soaps. I just love her, she's had mellowed a lot though. Her lines are so funny!
